Do you use Facebook? Do you use Twitter? Well then here's SmartTwitter. You're welcome.
Yes it's true that Twitter already has its own clunky status updating app on Facebook and there are plenty of apps that do this, like Tweeter.
But what sets SmartTwitter apart, aside from its simplicity of use, is the fact that Twitter language kruft like hashtags, retweets, @replies and @mentions look so out of place on Facebook and many people end up disabling these apps to stop the Twitter jargon from appearing in their feed and annoying their non-Twitter using friends.
The BlackBerry Torch or Bold 9800 is a great device that gives other phones a run for their money. What makes it so exciting is that it maintains its Blackberry heritage while running on better software. Under the hood, we get a 624 MHz Marvell processor, 512 MB internal memory, 4 GB internal storage, the BlackBerry 6 OS, a 3.2-inch high-resolution display, a 5.0MP camera, and a heck of a lot more. Sounds
great, but then there is also the free Instant Messaging, Internet Browsing, Facebook, Twitter and E-mail that you get when you subscribe to the Blackberry Service every month.
But no iPhone Killer for the Blackberry yet!
Today, social networking giant Twitter announced that all 160 million of its users now have access to the site's new interface; the company announced a site over-haul just four weeks ago. In an official blog post, Twitter writes: "You'll be able to switch between both the old and new versions of
Twitter for the next few weeks. After that, everyone will just use the new version." If you're a Twitter person — a Twerson if you will — let me know what you think of the #newTwitter.

Sony Ericsson has introduced its latest device for Android as Sony Ericsson Live View. This latest device is powered with Android 2.0
Operating system. This Sony Ericsson Live View will provide remote functionality for mobile
phone activity. Live View is very comfortable to move any where.
The idea here is you wear LiveView on your clothes or as a watch. It can then be used to view Twitter feeds, quickly check who is calling
you, what calls you missed, view e-mails, RSS feeds, Facebook messages etc. and act a music
playback controller. It 's a convenience peripheral busy people are going to appreciate
having. LiveView will work with any smartphone running Android 2.x. An app needs to be installed on your phone that allows communication with the device. For a specific app to work it needs to be LiveView compatible, but Sony Ericsson has also created LiveWare Manager which scans Android Market for compatible apps.
Sony Ericsson Live View is having 1.3 inch OLED display screen and 128X128 pixel resolution grid to communicate. Sony Ericsson Live View can place in Key-chains, watch straps and books.
Expect LiveView to become available before the end of the year. A price has yet to be announced.
I'm defnitely getting one for my HTC Hero!

Although Twitter.com has always been the most popular way for users to make use of the micro social networking site, the market has lately been overwhelmed by desktop application that makes the social networking service so much better. But Twitter is not sitting back, the micro social networking site yesterday launched a brand new and better Twitter.com that is almost an exact replica of their latest iPad App.
The new Twitter.com provides users with an easier, faster and richer experience than before by adding features such as embedded media options, more context and more information regarding tweets.
The new Twitter will maintain the timeline but underneath each tweet is where all the extras are built in. Twitter has also made changes to the design of their new site mimicking that of their new iPad application by adding sliding
panels to the site keeping your timeline to the left and scrollable and allowing you to view all other info like profiles, media, replies to tweets etc on the right. Twitter started rolling out the new changes gradually already and the roll out should be completed within the next few weeks. For more information check out the twitter.com/newtwitter
